Counter increas­ing com­pe­ti­tion and cost pres­sure with intel­li­gent automa­tion solutions:
In intral­o­gis­tics for elec­tron­ics pro­duc­tion, the small load car­rier (tote / KLT) robot SOTO is your valu­able part­ner for the future.

Have you already estab­lished a true end-to-end solu­tion in your logis­tics? Does it also include mate­r­ial flow automa­tion “on the last mile”, mean­ing all the way to the pro­duc­tion line?

Espe­cially in elec­tron­ics pro­duc­tion, where high pre­ci­sion and flex­i­bil­ity are required, the autonomous tote / KLT robot SOTO offers you a unique set of capa­bil­i­ties for a smart and fully autonomous mate­r­ial flow right up to the line. From easy inte­gra­tion with var­i­ous machine types to increased effi­ciency and through­put, SOTO will con­vince you and help secure your competitiveness.

High labor costs

Process opti­miza­tion and invest­ments in automa­tion con­tinue to be the answers to ris­ing labor costs. This will ensure the company’s prof­itabil­ity in the future.

Skills short­age

Demo­graphic change is exac­er­bat­ing the short­age of skilled work­ers. Pro­duc­tion processes that require a wide range of skills and qual­i­fi­ca­tions are par­tic­u­larly affected.

Ergonom­ics

In shift work, the phys­i­cal stresses quickly add up. This is an essen­tial fac­tor for employee sat­is­fac­tion. Mate­r­ial automa­tion par­al­lel to humans offers a rem­edy here.

Per­son­nel planning

Flex­i­ble work­ing and pro­duc­tion mod­els require a great deal of plan­ning. Intel­li­gent automa­tion offers the nec­es­sary flex­i­bil­ity. For exam­ple, for shift oper­a­tions, waves of ill­ness or the intro­duc­tion of new products.

Bring a True End-to-end Process to Your Logis­tics With AMR SOTO

Totes up to 20 kg

Dif­fer­ent sizes and weights

SOTO moves your mate­ri­als with­out tir­ing. Totes / KLTs can weigh up to 20 kg. In total, SOTO can trans­port up to 250 kg. The KLT sizes may vary. SOTO can pick up or drop off the KLTs on three sides: left, right, and front.

Tote Han­dling

Flex­i­ble grip­ping mech­a­nism and vari­able trans­fer height

SOTO has a rotat­able grip­per and can inter­act flex­i­bly even with pas­sive trans­fer sta­tions. It is capa­ble of rotat­ing KLTs by 90° or 180° and pick­ing them up and deliv­er­ing them both length­wise and short-side. The trans­fer height is infi­nitely vari­able between 40 and 170 cm above the floor.

Back­pack

High trans­port capacity

With its dou­ble-spaced inter­nal rack, SOTO can trans­port between 8 and 24 KLT con­tain­ers at the same time, depend­ing on the con­tainer sizes.

SOTO Dis­play

Direct and fast assistance

Thanks to the abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate with the user via inte­grated dis­plays, even col­leagues with no prior knowl­edge of robot­ics can eas­ily trou­bleshoot robot mal­func­tions. Spe­cific instruc­tions on the dis­play help to get oper­a­tions back up and run­ning quickly.

Individual Solutions for New Logistics Processes.
Analy­sis

We begin by eval­u­at­ing whether SOTO is a good fit for your pro­duc­tion logis­tics. We don’t just look at indi­vid­ual steps or SOTO alone. Rather, we as Junghein­rich bring project exper­tise to the table that can help you opti­mize your entire ware­house and intral­o­gis­tics processes.

Spec­i­fi­ca­tion

Together we deter­mine how the tote / KLT robot can be inte­grated into your processes, what hur­dles there are and how these can be removed. Together, we develop the solu­tion and at the same time help you to ques­tion out­dated processes.

Inte­gra­tion

After care­ful plan­ning, we inte­grate SOTO into your envi­ron­ment. Final adjust­ments are made to the real envi­ron­ment and your team is trained to adapt and main­tain the sys­tem independently.

Scal­ing

Once in place, your fleet can be expanded as needed – eas­ily and cost-effec­tively. We sup­port you with insights every step of the way.
